IN this exquisite Rookwood vase you find vis- ualized the concept of a truly artistic imag- ination, worked out with infinite patience and devotion. Its creator knew his oriental potter's lore, reflected as it is in the distinctly Chinese contour of the vase. He knew, too, how to get marvelously soft and mellifluous tints by coloring the clay while still soft and then burn- ing over it a porcelain glaze. He was left free to execute his design precisely as he had conceived it, knowing that the tradi- tional policy of Rookwood is to allow its artists the utmost individuality, and to protect them fully against any duplication of their work.

No Hj family thinks of going down alone but always includes f H several friends in the ar- possible to interject your own personality into the hotel life there, because of the construction of the hotel and the desire of the management to surround each individual party with its mode of entertainment. The hotel offers so many unexpected nooks and corners that it is never difficult to convince the children that Santa Claus is lurking just around one of the turrets or towers and it is much easier to convince the grown-ups of his proximity at Coronado than elsewhere. Then one can be always sure of so many modes of entertainment, bridge, dancing, riding, yachting, tennis, golf and polo, — and as the polo tournament always opens soon after the first of the year, there is every reason for going early and staving - late. The West has a reputation for hospitality to be lived up to but whether or not this has anything to do with the manner in which the hotels are conducted is a question. Most of the resort hotels of this section being under the management of Eastern trained hotel men, but whatever the fount of the hospitality, the fact remains that the hotels are first and foremost the hosts to the visitors who come to this Coast whether they are drawn primarily by the vaunted delights of the cli- mate, or the mountains or the sea, or because they may play golf every day throughout the year, — and that is not a point to be overlooked by any visitor of either* sex because if both members of the family do not play one does, and the weather, the golf courses, and their proximity to the hotels are of vital interest.

TAYLOR HOUGHTON One Man in His Time, This new novel by Ellen Glasgow is teeming by tilt* Glasgow with ideas, one big central one and several (Doubleday. Page IS Co.) ■ .- ' . , ,. _ , ., interesting minor ones shooting off from it. Here and there the theme has been treated inadequately, but the ideas remain unobscured. We are impressed with the book in spite of ourselves. It is the story of a Governor of Virginia, a man of the people, a one-time member of the circus, who was big enough, sincere and courageous enough to stand, in his sym- pathies, between labor and capital. In his genuine effort to "vitalize tradition and discipline progress' there was only one thing which could happen to a man of his integrity in his partiuclar position — and this happens to him in the novel. Bill, the Bachflor. by Denis Mac tail (Houghton. Mijilin Co.) Pritr f2.no It is neither the plot nor the characters which make this novel such fun, but the way the author says things in general, the queer little twists he gives his phrases and especially his clever detached views of this life of ours. He has an amusing aloofness from his book which seems to have given him an added enjoyment in the writing of it. Bill the Bachelor is really something of a detective story and makes very diverting li^ht reading. Senescence or The Last Halj of Lift by G. Stanley Hall (D. .Ippletnn W Co.) Senescence is no preachment or wild cat panacea for old age, but merely a straight- forward sane presenting of facts. G. Stanley Hall, the well-known psychologist who until recently has been president of Clark Univer- sity has written this impressive and peculiarly interesting account of old age as a sister volume to his famous Adolescence. In it he helps us think out all the problems which we know will confront us in later life if they have not already done so. He develops his own idea of death and old age and emphasizes what he considers the all-important responsibilities that the old and the near-old have in the community. For all those who are not like ostriches in regard to age and death, this book written in a fascinating intimate way by a student of human nature offers a rare treat. It helps us take stock of ourselves which is an excellent and stimulating thing to do at any time of life. Perhaps the best way to give an idea of the book is to quote from the author's foreword: "I have tried to present the subjects of Old Age and Death from as many viewpoints as possible in order to show how the ignorant and the learned, the child, the adult and the old, savage and civilized man, pagan and Christian, the ancient and the modern world, the representatives of various sciences and different individuals have viewed these problems, letting each class, so far as possible speak for itself." Senescence is a book to which we shall turn with increasing frequency as the years slip by. From a Bench in Our Square, bv Samuel Hopkins A dims (Hcuchton Mijilin Co.) Price $2.00 From a Bench in Our Square is made up of good short stories written about odd and in- teresting characters who have drifted from time to time into a strange little sidetracked square "walled in" by New York slums. Each story has its own universal appeal. Kindly humor lights up the whole book and makes it refreshing. The Mercy ol .lllah. hv Hilaire Belloc (D. Appleton Is Co.) In telling the adventures of a dishonest greedy millionaire of the Orient, Hilaire Belloc intended, evidently to write a satire of the un- scrupulousness of business methods the world over. He makes ingenious use of Oriental proverbs, stringing together many unrelated incidents. The irony, quaint settings and sayings which at first we find most entertaining finally pall because of their sameness. //. G. Welles" Those inclined to puzzle about the relations of The Secret Places oi the Heart men an(j women jn these modern times will (Th^TaTmiilan Company) be started thinking strenuously by H. G. Welles' new novel. We are apt to agree with him sometimes, more often to disagree violently. Though his book makes us think, it fails to make us feel as any real novel should. However, as it has no plot it can scarcely be called a novel in the true sense. Welles has tossed forth all his pet theories — with pros and cons — apparently conceived while he was doing research work for his History of the World, in order that his characters may play battledore and shuttlecock with them. He theorizes his way through The Secret Places of the Heart. I Correction In the November issue of The California Southland an excellent new publication of the Macmillan Company was reviewed.

Par- ticularly might this, be true of California and the Pacific Coast in general, although the dis- tance of a very few miles in geographic loca- tion may spell the success or failure of a given variety in our Southland.

STEVENS, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT, SANTA BARBARA. markedly within exceedingly short distances that the best rule for the rose grower to fol- low, in choosing his varieties, is that of experi- mentation of either himself or his neighbors. Because of our generally favorable climate, however, rose-culture and garden methods gen- erally are quite haphazard, being followed along the lines of least resistance. Pruning of roses is rarely indulged in for gardens that do not boast a professional gardener; while correct pruning of roses is an unheard of con- dition to the average amateur. Still, it is true that proper pruning will do as much or more than any other one thing to control size and beauty of blooms. In the first place, roses should have seasons of rest, at which time it is proper to prune. The rest periods should be created once or twice a year by witholding of water, although the winter is the normal season for dormancy, particularly during a cold season. Roses that are relatively dormant may be pruned now. The pruning of hybrid perpetuals is influ- enced by the type of bloom desired. For large masses of flowers, leave four of five canes three feet high, and cut out all of the old, weak wood. This will give a large number of flowers, effective on the bush but small and with weak foot-stalks, unsuitable for cutting. After the bloom is entirely over, the long stalks should be shortened back to stimulate new wood for the next season of bloom. For cutting roses of the hybrid perpetuals, one should retain all strong, healthy canes and cut them back to six or eight inches, al- ways just above a bud.

Cornell, Landscape Architect. THE COMMON EARING By CYRIL F. CARPENTER F. E. S. FOR many people the common earwig will have no "endearing charms," but perhaps a slight knowledge of its life-history may en- able them to~ regard it with more equanimity than formerly. It is, of course, an unfounded superstition that these insects creep into the ear, and pierce through to the brain, causing death. The ear- wig, on the contrary, shows a distinct aver- sion to "animal matter" in living form, and unless starving will not evince cannibalistic tendencies toward its own kith and kin, as its chief articles of sustenance are composed of vegetable matter, with the occasional delicacy of a dead fly or moth a la mode. This insect is known to all by its round, red- dish colored head, long antennae and, more especially, by the forceps at the end of its abdomen, which are shaped like two crescents joined together at the upper extremities and open at the lower. These forceps are used to assist the insect in folding up its delicate wings, but seldom as a means of offense and defense, though they can, on occasion, adminis- ter a sharp pinch. The female earwig lays her eggs under stones, in crevices in wood, or under the bark of trees. In appearance these eggs are oval, of a yellow color and very minute. Unlike many insects the mother earwig has the credit of possessing strong maternal instincts, and if the eggs are displaced will carefully gather them together again. Such care, however, is impossible to the many female insects who die naturally almost immediately after laying their eggs. The earwig's eggs soon hatch, not into larvae or into caterpillars, but into what are known as nymphs, though these are without wings or elytra. That is to say, they have the form of the adult insect at this stage, though they are, of course, much smaller in size. As the nymphs grow older they pass through several moulting stages. Immediately after shedding their skin each time they remain soft and white, but gradually become darker in hue, and harder in texture, the longer they are ex- posed. After the fourth or fifth moult the out- line of the wings may be observed marked on the thorax. When the last moulting stage is passed the insects are adults, and have a pair of elytra, or hard wing covers, under which to protect their more delicate wings. These wings are about seven times the size of the elytra, so it may be imagined that the insects need to exercise considerable ingenuity in fold- ing these extremely fragile wings carefully back to their resting place. The earwig is very voracious and feeds chiefly upon vegetable matter, doting upon the HEWSON STUDIOS MANDWOVEN HOMESPUNS For Dresses, Skirts, Scarfs, Blankets and Bags b02 E. Colorado Si Pasadena corollas of such flowers as dahlias and nastur- tiums, spoiling the symmetry of the petals. It is also partial and destructive to ripe fruit. The ichneumon fly is parasitic upon the ear- wig's body. In course of time this egg hatches into a larva which lives on the vital tissues. It is, however, a debatable point to what ex- tent the ichneumon fly keeps earwigs in check. Earwigs dislike light and have a penchant for dark, gloomy and damp places. Gardeners may easily make suitable dark traps and fasten them during the evening about the at- tacked plants, and in the morning take round a bucketful of boiling water with which to kill the captives. The earwigs drop to the ground at the lightest touch, so that it is ad- visable when dislodging them to have the bucket directly beneath the trap. The University Club NORMAN D.

The methods used are very simple, unless one goes into the more intricate and elaborate work where brazing and welding are neces- sary— although in a small way these may be accomplished over a kitchen range or gas flame. Many small ornamental and useful objects may be made in one's own home, such as — candle sticks, trays of various sorts and sizes, and fire sets; in the latter a heavier metal will be required than that which is mentioned below. In the present day home, the use of wrought iron is most attractive and very much sought after; the early Spanish being of a more simple and almost crude workmanship, but, even in the crudeness, the artistic ability ob- viously presents itself. Spanish metal work has many branches; and is, historically, too prolific for one small article. But its excellence makes it worthy of serious study. For the construction of an early Spanish candelabra 14 inches in height, with an arm spread of 10 inches (that is from center of one candle cup to center of other) one requires : 1. Nine inch piece of quarter-inch iron for main body. 2. 28-inch length of 1/16 inch by %-inch cut in four equal lengths for base, 7 inches each, and a 16-inch length of same for cross arm. 3. Light weight iron, brass or copper, 7 a very effective rusty appearance. Chemicals are used mostly in finishing, but rather a long process. If copper or brass is used, the surface should be thoroughly cleaned (vinegar and salt solu- tion is very good), heated, then lacquered with camel hair brush, heated again to attain smooth even surface. Sometimes one prefers the natural colors in copper, by just dipping in sulphuric acid, rinsing, lacquering, and time and age or a little heat will do the rest. Supplies Tin snips, cutting pliers, round nosed pliers, flat nosed pliers, steel punches — various sizes, reamer, riveting hammer, bench hammer — about % -pounds, bench anvil and anvil stake, rivets, bolts, sandpaper, soldering iron, solder- ing fluid, solder, lacquer, flat black paint, oil paints in Venetian Red, Cobalt or French Blue, Gamboye or Yellow Ochre, Terre Verte (Green) and Gold. Turpentine or Cial Oil for thinning colors, solid bench or table, wood blocks for moulds can be cut into shape, or lumps or hard pitch. The colors are used sometimes on leaves or iron to give them the desired effect of Poly- chrome. FRENCH and ITALIAN ARTS and CRAFTS Imported by MISS HOLLINGS WORTH BEACH Evening Bags.

Hammer the 3V2-inch edge of rec- tangle for candle cup, making an uneven, slightly flaring top (A), cut sections from lower edge % inch in depth, (B), hammer into cylinder and rivet or solder (C), then bend lower points together to complete cup (D). If leaves are used, they are shaped over anvil or block into form — light sheet iron may be formed in the same way, avoiding soldering or riveting, only necessitating a inch hole in bottom. Fig. VI.

This residence dis- trict of paved streets, tree-lined and parked, extends from the heights of Altadena Golf Club down to San Gabriel Mission, to other towns along the foothills and to the city of Los Angeles itself on the west and south. Looping the loops on trolley or boulevard- ing in a touring car, one goes out from the metropolis on many potent trips to find just the right spot for the home of one's dreams. Chambers of Commerce, those centers of citizenship and enterprise, are bureaus of information to guide the homeseeker not only to a house, but to a farm, not only to the particular kind of house one wants, but to the particular business or line of horti- culture one has chosen to play with for his sojourn in California. Everything is here to play with from a whole town which needs remodeling in conformity with our tradi- tions of California architecture to the tiniest chicken ranch or violet farm. At La Verne the situation of the town itself invites the lover of a perfect view and outlook on life as well. Remarkable are its school advantages. At San Gabriel great doings thrill the heart of the lover of this Spanish-conquered land. The building of the new Mission Play house in the style and material of the old Mission of San Antonio, the most beau- tiful of them all, is in itself a fine feat. But San Gabriel is not satisfied with that. She is remodeling the whole business center of the modern town to fit in with this ambi- tious scheme. Like Santa Barbara, the town will build around an old Spanish plaza. THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY LOOKING TOWARD OUR DOMINANT MOUNTAIN MOUNT SAN ANTONIO FROM A PAINTING BY BENJAMIN C. BROWN.

At El Monte, end of the Santa Fe Trail and the heart of the valley, diversified farming is developing rapidly and the ideal life is worked out in a live town.

In the eastern end of the San Gabriel Valley the Puente hills give variety and give Puente its own valley, full of fruit, garden products and avocados. Pomona, larger than the other valley towns, has developed un- usual and distinctive character- istics as a model home town sur- rounded by orchards and is well worth careful investigation by town-house seekers this year.

PAUL F. JOHNSON 560 East Colorado Street Pasadena, California OUTHLAND 23 UN CASTILLO DE ESPANA By FRANCES MATILDA PURDY ALMOST everyone is familiar with the sight of the Mission Inn, at Riverside, California, from the vewpoint of a well known and Justly celebrated hostelry. So familiar, in fact, have we become with it, that a rather commonplace attitude has blinded many of us to the possibilities of a visit to this charming place from the angle presented towards any other natural attraction of Southern California. For it is "natural" attraction, at the present time, whatever may have been the appearance of this building in the begnning, and the cunning methods in construction and landscape gardening to obtain an effect of great age, have been so well supplemented during the many years that have passed since then by nature, that it has in truth become, under the genuinely accumulated marks of time and almost tropical luxuriance of shrubbery and tree growth in which it is nearly hidden, an old Spanish castle of the Mission type. This impression is not only experienced at first sight of its uneven IN THE GARDEN OF THE MISSION INN. RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA. red brick paved patios, whose weather stained beams above seem to sag heavily with age, but the very atmosphere, once inside its arched gates conduces to dreamy reflection, in which the abhorrent thought of modern rush, and bustle, produces that lazy "manana' feeling, suggestive of aeons of time ahead. A brooding, restful quiet pervades its arched portals and lazily swinging seats, while the occasionally gutteral murmur of brilliantly hued macaws, and musical splash of falling water transports one to a world remote from clanging cars and honking motors just outside this cloistered retreat. Everywhere the eye is charmed by apparently convincing evidence that this "Castle" has long been the luxurious home of some hospitable Spanish family; and this effect is never spoiled by the harsh intrusion of everyday facts, such as noisy bell boys, and intrusive attendants, a courteous management permitting to the casual visitor who sends in his card the same unhampered freedom in every corner of build- ing or grounds as to any registered guest. Once the guest of the A PERGOLA EXTENDS ACROSS THE ENTIRE SOUTH FACADE OF THE MISSION INN AT RIVERSIDE. ARTHUR BENTON, ARCHITECT. 24 CALIFORNIA SOUTHLAND BROADWAY COR. SIXTH LOS ANGELES OFFERS a distinguished collection of gowns for Milady which express the air of dainty refinement as well as correct style. Master of the Inn, one may follow the dictates of his fancy, wandering at will from catacomb to turret, in perfect happiness, disturbed by no apprehension as to being out of place in such an environment. The catacombs alone are worth a trip to the "Castle," endlessly twisting and turning ahead, narrow and low-ceiled, one leading into another, apparently far down into the very depths of underground beneath the building; but in reality only a few feet below the level of the floor above, winding around the Chapel, and dark recesses, mys- terious and enchanting to the imagination. Admiration for the genius who conceived and executed the whole scheme of these underground passages continually fills the wanderer. With truly Spanish ingenuity, they baffle the determination to seek their outlet. Here, a step or two up discloses interminable vistas; now down, into a "cul de sac," wherein is set a lighted altar, hundreds of years old perhaps, ornamented with doll-like images of the saints; then back around a corner, where, far ahead at the end of a dimin- ishing perspective, in the dusky light is distinguished a man in armor and casque, standing posed, immovable, inspiring a hesitatingly doubt- ful apprehension of some uneasy wraith wandering in these' ghostly underground regions. But, upon drawing near, the knight is seen to be part of a group of very real looking wax figures, standing about the small alcove behind a railing in lifelike attitudes and correctly ornamental dress of that period. An interpretation of the meaning shown in their arrested pose, displayed on the well illuminated tablet at one side, is given as an historic Catholic ceremony, and indeed close study of the waxen features reveals a startling likeness to old for- gotten drawings. With thoughtful attention, a long seat has been placed opposite that they may be studied in comfort and at leisure. These catacombs are indirectly and duskily, but adequately lighted, frequent ventilator openings also being utilized most artistically to illuminate with carefully regulated, bluish daylight rays, some statuette, or picture, with all the startling effect of a spotlight, against the unearthly dimness. Each step reveals some new object for study, inviting the inspec- tion of small cells containing Indian treasures of basket work, and Navajo blanket-hung walls, whole corridors being lined with Indian pottery. Another has an interesting collection of firearms and "espadas," the blades and daggers silver and gold inlaid; scabbards of ancient design — multitudes of sharp pointed, deadly looking objects impossible to describe; old saddles and harness — a perfect storehouse of old Spanish mementoes. We pass through an old gate of twisted sticks, held together in primitive fashion used by the Indians, with hardened yucca thongs, and wander into a narrow, brick-lined corridor, whose rough surface is constructed in a series of unusual, and architecturally perfect overhead arches, meeting in a dome, and whose sides, at intervals con- taining niches, are lined with jewel-like pictures, suggestive of some ancient mission's walls. And, following this suggestion, splendidly executed sepia photographs of immense size, illustrating every Mission in California, as well as events of prominence connected with each, are contained within many of these corrdors, illuminated in such an ex- pert manner as to mystify the bewildered and delighted enthusiast. The strains from the pealing organ, apparently far above, follow, echoing down below, and it is with absolute amazement, so perfect has been the acoustic effect of dark remoteness in regions underground, that one steps directly from catacomb to chapel. And a most wonderful Chapel it is, with its high backed, carven chairs and benches from Spain; its velvets and tapestries; its stained glass, and heavy rugs. No detail has been left to sigh for that will help to transplant the modern, haste-loving American to another en- chanting world. Its great organ, "played by a master hand," carries with it that subtle suggestion of a religious atmosphere, inseparable from any Mission, conducive to reverie, in its subdued and restrained restfulness. Just as in old Spain, too, every room in the house opens upon an iron railed balcony overlooking and entirely encircling the patio, so also this castle has its arily wrought balconies with drooping green- ery; its cages of singing birds; its gaudily colored macaws and parrots. And no surprise whatever is felt when, upon one of these graceful balconies are seen, apparently enjoying their home to the utmost, two Spanish caballeros, lounging in the velvet and silk of their country's costume, guitarras and mandolins in hand, conversing animatedly with the beautiful senorita beside them, a black lace mantilla draped over her high combed tresses, in which a red rose is coquettishly set with Carmenesque effect; while, not far away, their Indian maid, dressed in yellow buckskin, with beaded band across her straight brows, fingers her harp for their entertainment. Languidly, she seats herself, and the harpist ripples the air with delicate melody, to be in turn succeeded by a fandango, fingered rapidly upon mandoline and guitarra by the senores, echoes of the quickening music falling back from the awninged canopies lazily flapping above to veil the hot rays of el sol. Inspecting these balconies more closely gives one an even greater thrill, their green twined arches forming a satisfying prspective in every direction, old marble garden seats and sundials offering a loitering place that invites a waste of all too limited time. An ancient, iron-railed staircase, has been bodily transplanted from some old Spanish building to ornament the wall of this castle, its genuine age apparent by the chipped-off carvings from old wooden beams, and broken bronze bolts. Bronze, indeed, is a metal more prominently in evidence, just here, than any other part of this dream castle, as, slightly above, and to one side of the patio, is "The Roof Of The Bells"— hundreds of bells, ranging from tiny bell-lets to heavy cracked monsters that must have sent their tones of joy or sorrow afar, when Padre Serra trudged after his slow going beast over the dusty eaminos. A round little tower, built on this roof, is hung with bells of all sizes and shapes, while set upon every possible space, and around the edge of the roof, are large bells of all descriptions. One cannot help feeling what a "Tintinnabulation of the bells, bells, bells," there would be, should some spirit hand start them all going at once!

FOR "AMY MAY" BATIK BANDANAS By MARGARET CRAIG Of all the styles that have stirred the imagi- nation and that have enriched a costume, there have been none so challenging as the Batik bandanas. These colorful squares of silk are used for every costume, but they are particularly effec- tive for sports wear. In the mountains they are worn about the bead, gypsy fashion, about the shoulders, or fastened to the belt. For the afternoon or evening wear, the ban- dana, if small, is caught through a ring, the end of a necklace or if larger, is worn at the waist. In the "Amy May" Studio, 527 California Terrace, Pasadena, California, there are dis- played many lovely batik costumes, blouses, negligees, draperies, and lamp-shades, but at the present moment, concentrated attention is being bestowed upon the bandanas that have taken the West as well as the East, by storm.

WITH the coming- of the new year the investor who is looking- for the trend of interest rates for the next twelve months would appear to find the best material for his or her deductions in the combined banking, industrial, and agricultural situations of the last nine months. Since March, 1922, at which time borrowing was at its minimum, the total loans and investments of member banks in principal cities where the effects of industrial activity are felt most have increased but $1,250,000,000 or a trifle over eight per cent, according to the December Review of the Federal Reserve Agent at New York. This very small inroad into credits for the purpose of industrialism is its own indication of what may be expected during the coming twelve months by way of borrowing for industrial purposes. This becomes particularly notable when it is remembered that since October of 1920 commercial loans in member banks of the Federal Reserve Sys- tem have dropped nearly thirty per cent, while in turn the total of investment by the member banks including acceptances and United States Government securities has moved up less than ten per cent, in the same period of time gold in the Reserve Banks has increased fifty-two per cent and in almost the same ratio as the known gold stock of the country. What the situation is in the industrial field is best represented by the fact that the outstanding commercial paper of the twenty-seven principal dealers in the United States has dropped from $1,350,000,- 000 as of February, 1920, to $750,000,000 in November, 1922. A continuance of the renewed industrial activity that marked the last ninety days in the manufacturing centers east of the Mississippi River as well as the re-financing operations on a long term basis being undertaken by corporations seeking the benefits of tax relief through stock dividends and other methods, should make a demand on the splendid supply of credit available in our banks that will change the situation from what it has been during the last two years. Added to this, the efforts of the Inter-State Commerce Commission once and for all to present to the investment bankers of the country as well as to the shippers a national railroad situation that can properly command money for both maintenance and extension that have been in most cases too long delayed, will produce an added de- mand upon tho country's capital that should be reflected in the in- terest rate before the year is through. Abundant crops the past year drew prices that permitted of little increase in the capital funds of the country as is represented by the still weakened condition of banking institutions in the middle western districts. However, another crop of similar proportions — and it is important to note that out of the last crop sufficient was saved by the farmers to assure them of current credit for seeding and harvesting through the coming twelve months — in all likelihood will bring a better price with resultant buying against renewed in- dustrial production. Everything would indicate a period of renewed prosperity through- out the country since the largest possible store of investment funds in the banks is by no means superior to the demand to be made upon them by merely a renewal of our normal borrowing in view of the fact that in the particular field of railroading upwards of five years of extension work and in many cases from two to five years of simple maintenance work require financing.

A word about the new store for devotees of radio is not therefore out of place in these columns. Improvements are constantly being made in radio sets for the home and broken or worn out parts must be replaced. Apparatus for enabling more than one person to listen in at a time is now receiving expert attention and various devices are used. All these up-to-date sets and attachments are to be found here at home in Pasadena. Mr. Paul F.

If, as has been predicted, there will be 20,000,000 receiving sets in operation in 1927, then Pasadena may be expected to be the first to put in the wires with the house when it is built.

They were an organization of merchants from Eastern Germany, whose silver alloy was so pure as to be gradually adopted by the English as a standard. It was just about the time of Robin Hood that this standard silver was being given the name of "Sterling," which is simply an abbrevia- tion of "Easterling." That was in the twelfth century. Ever since then "Sterling" has meant solid silver, and now by statute is defined in England and America as con- taining 925-10()0ths pure silver. Many centuries older than its name is the esteem for Sterling felt by all nations. In the palaces of Rome — in the baronial halls of England — in the chateaux of France — the keenest pride has uni- versally been felt in its possession. In the modern home, Sterling is enjoyed in far greater variety than anciently. Complete serv- ices of both flatware and hollow ware for the table, besides candelabra, and other ornamen- tal pieces, are all available at surprisingly moderate cost.
